What will it take for Pennsylvania's distressed municipalities to rebuild themselves?

Historically, most cities and boroughs that entered Act 47 never exited. The program became a "roach motel" of sorts for distressed local governments. But there are structural issues at the heart of these local governments' troubles - poverty, loss of industry, aging and declining populations - things no financial management program can fix.
